Before using any generative AI, it is strongly advised that you check with your professor. Policies change between classes and professors. It is your responsibility to check what is allowed for your assignment.
The Writing and Multiliteracy Center is the best source for citation guidelines, including those for generative AI.
Currently, most citation styles recommend that generative AI sources be treated like personal communications because, like emails, interviews, etc., generative AI conversations are generally nonrecoverable (i.e., they cannot be duplicated or accessed and evaluated by others).
As these technologies evolve and the ability to share conversations becomes the norm, these citation recommendations may change. Be sure to verify citation style guidance before using.
